Variable: DEFAULT_RECORDING_MAX_BYTES

const DEFAULT_RECORDING_MAX_BYTES: 5000000 = 5_000_000

Defined in: src/core/runbook/recording.ts:69

The default size ceiling for a filed chart recording — 5,000,000 bytes.

Chosen against measured sizes rather than taste. A walk of a real triage run is tens of kilobytes; this package's own field measurement of a full recordRun bundle (one retrieval turn, vectors included) was 2.76 MB. Five million bytes clears the realistic runbook by more than an order of magnitude and still refuses the pathological one — a fleet sweep whose commit log carries a row per subject per stage — BEFORE it lands in somebody else's store under a retention budget they sized for tickets.

It is a declared number, not a magic one: it is named on the option, printed in the refusal, and raised by whoever decides the whole bundle is worth it.
